Is your house color a secret?
I'm on the Architectural Control Committee in our HOA and lately there has been some drama involving house colors. Some very nice nighbors asked two other neighbors for the color of their house because they really like it and would like to paint their house the same color. However, 1 neighbor refused to give it and then other one reluctantly gave it to them. Please note that these houses are not near each other at all in our neighborhood- on different streets. I was just shocked that people would withhold this information (and one of the girls is my friend who is super sweet and definitely not the grumpy neighbor-type). I understand you don't want your next door neighbors to have the same color, but I think it is a compliment if someone wants to have the same color you do. Am I the only one that thinks this is weird?
Re: Is your house color a secret?
No, you're not the only one.
I think that is strange.
IMO, it's sort of like someone asking you where you bought your shoes because they like them and want a pair... and you don't want to tell them because you don't want them to have the same pair of shoes as you.
Really?
I could *maybe* understand if they were next door neighbors, as having the same color house as your immediate neighbor can occasionally lower the value when you're trying to sell... but if you're not next door neighbors, I think that's a bit dumb.
I agree with you and AT. If the houses were next door neighbors--or even on the same stretch of road as each other, I might be a little leary, but if they are on different roads all together...well then yes, it's weird. Oh, or if they were a crazy color--like a special shade of magenta or turquoise I might not want to share either. But most common exterior house colors? C'mon, there aren't many that are really that nice. Yeah....no.
And btw, I DO NOT want any of you copying DH and I--our house is a precious flower--it's brick red....also known as brick.
Funny you mention this! This in fact happened between the two current neighbors who both have their house this green color. And the original neighbors came home as the paint samples were being compared and were not pleased! Oh neighborhood drama!
One of the big paint companies (I think it is either Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams) has an application for the i-phone where you can take a picture of a color and it will try to match it with the closest color they have. That way you could be all covert about your color shopping.
